PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ADVOCATES DECRY GOVERNOR CUOMO’S NEW PLAN TO OVERPOLICE TRANSIT SYSTEM

“The increased surveillance and police enforcement of the subway has turned it into a battleground for criminalizing poverty and demeaning low-income New Yorkers. We must invest our resources into repairing our broken transit system and growing the prosperity of our communities - not the policing of low-income riders and New Yorkers trying to make a living. I stand firmly with my colleagues, transit advocates, street vendors, and all working people in calling for justice,” said State Senator Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx/Westchester).
